Why is Network Address Translation (NAT) a benefit to corporations?
- It converts MAC addresses to IP addresses.
- It allows corporations to hide private addresses from the public.
- It links specific portions of an internal network with corporate cost centers.
- It enables protocol conversion between network entities such as SANs and application servers.
Correct Answer

A. It allows corporations to hide private addresses from the public.

Explanation

NAT is a benefit to corporations because it allows them to hide their private addresses from the public. This means that when devices from the internal network access the internet, their private IP addresses are translated to a public IP address. This provides an added layer of security as it prevents direct communication between external entities and internal devices, making it harder for attackers to target the internal network. Additionally, NAT conserves IP addresses as multiple devices can share a single public IP address.

An administrator plans to use a single LPAR and Management Central to manage PTFs for other systems in the enterprise. What is the most important consideration when deciding the baseline?
- All systems are the same OS level.
- All systems are at the same PTFGRP level.
- All systems are at the same test fix level.
- All systems are at the same Cumulative level.
Correct Answer

A. All systems are the same OS level.

Explanation

When using a single LPAR and Management Central to manage PTFs for other systems, the most important consideration for deciding the baseline is that all systems are at the same OS level. This ensures that the PTFs being managed are compatible with all the systems in the enterprise, reducing the risk of compatibility issues or conflicts. Having all systems at the same OS level also allows for easier management and ensures consistency in terms of functionality and features across the enterprise.

Programmers are having issues with the RPG compiler, and it has been determined that a fix must be ordered. Which type of PTF is most appropriate?
- Fix groups.
- Service packs.
- Individual fixes.
- Cumulative PTF packages.
Correct Answer

A. Individual fixes.

Explanation

When programmers are experiencing issues with the RPG compiler, the most appropriate type of PTF (Program Temporary Fix) to order would be individual fixes. Individual fixes are specific patches or updates that address specific problems or bugs in a software program. In this case, since the issue is with the RPG compiler, ordering individual fixes will allow the programmers to target and resolve the specific problems they are facing. Fix groups, service packs, and cumulative PTF packages are more general and may not specifically address the issues with the RPG compiler.

The number of jobs in a job queue is increasing. Jobs are running in the subsystem. What is a potential cause of this increase?
- The active jobs in the subsystem are in *BCHHLD status.
- The job queue has too Iowa sequence number in the subsystem.
- The subsystem is set up to only run prestart and auto start jobs.
- The maximum number of concurrent jobs for the subsystem has been reached.
Correct Answer

A. The maximum number of concurrent jobs for the subsystem has been reached.

Explanation

The increase in the number of jobs in the job queue can be attributed to the subsystem reaching its maximum number of concurrent jobs. Once the maximum limit is reached, any new jobs that are submitted to the subsystem will be added to the job queue instead of being immediately processed. This backlog of jobs in the queue leads to the increase in the number of jobs.

An administrator restores a set of two libraries named TEST_A and TEST_B from a backup tape. Several objects did not restore into library TEST_A . All objects restored into library TEST_B . The administrator reviews the job log and finds that all of the objects that failed to restore were logical files. What is the most likely reason that these objects failed to restore?
- The logical files were saved with the ACCPTH (*NO) parameter.
- The ALWOBJDIF (*ALL) parameter was not specified on the RSTLIB command.
- The logical files are based on physical files that are in library TEST_B.
- The administrator does not have sufficient authority to restore the access paths.
Correct Answer

A. The logical files are based on physical files that are in library TEST_B.

Explanation

The most likely reason that the objects failed to restore is that the logical files are based on physical files that are in library TEST_B. Since the logical files are dependent on the physical files, if the physical files were not restored or were restored in a different library, the logical files would not be able to restore properly into library TEST_A.

An administrator creates a new user profile and assigns that new profile to two groups, GROUP1 and GROUP2. GROUP1 has update authority for APP1 application. GROUP2 has only read authority to APP2 application. The new user is able to access APP1 and APP2 as expected. A month later the administrator needs to stop the user from updating APP1 and assigns the user to GROUP3, which only has read authority to APP1. However, the user can still update APP1. What is the most likely cause of this problem?
- The administrator did not remove GROUP1 from the user profile.
- The system was not restarted to make the group profile changes effective.
- GROUP3 was not first in the list of group profiles to restrict update to APP1.
- The administrator did not remove all of the Individual Authorities from the GROUP1 profile for that user.
Correct Answer

A. The administrator did not remove GROUP1 from the user profile.

Explanation

The most likely cause of the problem is that the administrator did not remove GROUP1 from the user profile. Since the user was initially assigned to GROUP1, which had update authority for APP1, the user still retains that authority even after being assigned to GROUP3, which only has read authority. To resolve the issue, the administrator should remove GROUP1 from the user profile to remove the update authority for APP1.

What is an advantage of using an authorization list instead of a group profile?
- Authorization lists override individual object authority.
- An object can be authorized by many authorization lists, but only one group profile.
- Authorization lists provide *ALLOBJ access to both objects and programs used to update.
- Authorization lists allow different users to have individual authorities to the secured objects.
Correct Answer

A. Authorization lists allow different users to have individual authorities to the secured objects.

Explanation

Using an authorization list allows different users to have individual authorities to the secured objects. This means that each user can be granted specific permissions or restrictions on the objects, providing a more granular level of control over access. In contrast, a group profile applies the same set of authorities to all users within the group, limiting the ability to customize permissions for individual users. Therefore, using authorization lists provides more flexibility and security in managing access to secured objects.
